After a lull, this week’s Nintendo Download list is positively bursting with content for European Wii U and 3DS owners.
A NES Remix-inspired promotion sees numerous Virtual Console classics placed at discount on Wii U, while the console’s Nintendo eShop offering expands with three new indie titles in Master Reboot, Super Toy Cars, and Wooden Sen’SeY. Mega Man returns in two NES adventures, whereas Game Boy Advance’s Mega Man Battle Network also drops in. The 3DS is having a slightly quieter week, although Siesta Fiesta from Mojo Bones is certainly worth taking a look at!
